Les Emmerson, writer of the Route 66-inspired song "Signs" at age 77. By the group Five Man Electric Band. Always liked this song.
"And the sign said "Long-Haired Freaky People Need Not Apply.' " I though I could sing this song at karaoke once. Turns out I couldn't.

More about the historic Whirl-A-Whip restaurant in Girard, Illinois. It was on the 1926-1932 alignment before it was moved east.
Opened by the Lockwoods in 1957 and has had five sets of owners since then.
